The recent centennial of the original publication of Sigmund Freud's The Interpretation of Dreams has generated a new wave of critical reappraisals of this monumental work. Considered one of the most important books in Western history, scholars from an astonishing variety of academic fields continue to wrestle with Freud's intricate theories and insights. Dreams is a long overdue collection of writing on dreams from many of the top scholars in religious studies, anthropology, and psychology departments. The volume is organized into three thematic sections: traditions, individuals and methods. The twenty-three articles highlight the most important theories, the most contentious debates, and the most far-reaching implications of this growing field of study.

Kelly Bulkeley is the author of several books on dreams, including "Visions of the Night: Dreams, Religion, and Psychology" and "An Introduction to the Psychology of Dreaming". He is senior editor of the journal "Dreaming".

Reviews

'Dreams, for the most part, is a very dry representation of an infinitely fascinating subject, which would be extremely useful should your course, or indeed your interest, ever touch upon this topic.' - Adam Banister, Juice, Leeds Student newspaper
